Great location and walkable distance to several tourist areas, such as the Yasaka Pagoda, and easy commute to other notable areas, such as Nishiki market via city bus.

We had some really big issues while checking in, because they said that the previous guest had lost a key (card) to their room. So we had to wait until the staff resolved new cards for us, they couldn’t solve it after 1h and decided to open our door for us with their master key every time we needed to go home. We then found several silverfishes on our bed and on the interior…

Charming yet practical in the central location.

I love the tidiness and cleanesss. The reception is quick and kind enough. The location is close enough to the city center, yet less crazy. Walking to Heian Shrine was perfect!!! I recommend this location to all.

The best hotel I’ve stayed at here in Japan so far. Really pleasant and nice workers. The ambiance and decor is so calming in a traditional modern Japanese style. Didn’t have breakfast included as an option, however the hotel does sell açaí bowls with bread. They have free coffee, water, and tea for all guests. Desk attendant helped us send our luggage to another hotel.

Review from Canadian tourist: Staff was able to speak a good amount of English and everything was explained to us upon check in. Across the street from train station allowed us to get around easy. 10 minute walk from the river with lots of food options. Place itself was clean and spacious. Free coffee in the mornings in the lobby. Staff and everyone was very friendly and greeted us every time we walked by. Would highly recommend staying here.
